- 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Dry Sherry
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley chopped
Instructions

- Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and paprika and sauté for 1 minute.

Notes
Option: Skewer the prawns or shrimp (tails on) before grilling. I always serve with rice and seasonal vegetables (today I used avocados and shredded cabbage).
